x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculation
Commit: e2b32e678513 ("x86, kaslr: randomize module base load address") makes the base address for module to be unconditionally randomized in case when CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is defined and "nokaslr" option isn't present on the commandline. This is not consistent with how choose_kernel_location() decides whether it will randomize kernel load base. Namely, CONFIG_HIBERNATION disables kASLR (unless "kaslr" option is explicitly specified on kernel commandline), which makes the state space larger than what module loader is looking at. IOW CONFIG_HIBERNATION && CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is a valid config option, kASLR wouldn't be applied by default in that case, but module loader is not aware of that. Instead of fixing the logic in module.c, this patch takes more generic aproach. It introduces a new bootparam setup data_type SETUP_KASLR and uses that to pass the information whether kaslr has been applied during kernel decompression, and sets a global 'kaslr_enabled' variable accordingly, so that any kernel code (module loading, livepatching, ...) can make decisions based on its value. x86 module loader is converted to make use of this flag.
